Revision History: September 13, 2004
Test Setup: The DUT and the Testing Station are physically connected.
Test Procedure (Targets):
• The Testing Station should start and complete a Phy Reset sequence followed by an Identify sequence
with the DUT. Since the DUT is a target the Testing Station should transmit an Identify Address frame
indicating that it is an initiator.
• The Testing Station should transmit an OpenAddress frame to the DUT, followed by BREAK.
Observable Results: Verify that the DUT transmitted BREAK within 1 msec of receiving BREAK from the
Testing Station.
